Hello,

Not the best quality for this photo but it is interesting to see the specific HJ-Feuerwehrscharen uniform.
I'm looking for regulations concerning this particular outfit.

There is a lot of general information about the HJ Feuerwehr in this book (German):

Axel Polnik
Die Bayreuther Feuerwehren im Dritten Reich

Chapter 3.2, Die HJ-Feuerwehr, pages 264 to 303

Price on ebay.de 49 EUR

You can see some (most) of the pages on books.google.com

In this book "Die Bayreuther Feuerwehren im Dritten Reich" is in the section
about HJ-Feuerwehrscharen consulted from another book: "Jugendfeuerwehren in Deutschland,
Entwicklungsgeschichte
" from Benno Ladwig (an old friend of mine). The book was published
by the EFB-Verlag from Hanau in 1986 (first edition). It has 121 pages.

I do not know if it is still available, but one can try when interested, as it long ago (1986) since
it is being released. The ISBN = 3-88776-028-X
The book deals with youth in fire-brigades from 1865-1932; 1933-1945; 1946-1965.

I see that amazon.de knows where to get a copy. Price between 6,- and 10,- euro or so. I did not have
a good look for that.

Yes, I do have this one for about 28 years. It was just released in 1983 and given to me by a young German
friend when he visited me for discussing the HJ. I thought someone of his family did work at the EFB-Verlag
in those days, when I remember well.

I thought it is for sale through booklooker.de through a private seller. It is just listed, I see.

The booklet is a summary of articles from old magazines, orders about uniforms and its service
(Reichsbefehl 57/K from August 12,1940), various old newspaper articles, articles from Deutscher
Feuerschutz (October 16, 1941; Hitler-Jugend im Feuerschutz from Kriegsjahr 1941), so from all
kinds of sources and has many photographs from those magazines. Quality of the photographs
could have been better, but in the mid-1980's it was great to get it. And it still is. It is a
well of information. The last page is an article from the Schwert-und-Spaten-magazine from May 31,
1942 with uniform-drawings.
